We go to a bigger fancier restaurant for dinner tonight.
I order, and dad orders.

The food here comes in small portions. Dad seems content but Steve and I look at each other like "Where's the food?"

Not much conversation takes place. I tell dad I talked to Abbey and Justin. I don't dare bring up Thor.

Dad seems more calm now. Less jumpy and anxious.

After dinner we go back to the hotel, I call it our apartment since that's basically what it is.

Steve tells me he's taking a shower, so I ask dad if he wants to go on a walk with me.

We walk on the stone paths through the courtyard with funny shaped bushes.

"So you seem okay, given our circumstances." I laugh a little

"Well kiddo, Steve and I had a good talk last night. And I am in France, one of the loveliest places so yes I am okay" Dad says with a small smile

"That's good." I sigh contently

"Are you excited for MIT?" He asks with excitment

"Uh, yeah! I mean it's gonna be a weird transition.. But I- I think it will be fun considering I am your daughter so I'll get special treatment" I smile up at him and he chuckles

"Damn right. No teacher should give you a hard time." He grins

"So what was it like when you went to college?" I ask

"Well I was a rich little annoying 15 year old. I had no clue what I was doing social wise. Girls liked me cause I was totally cute. Parties were the best!" He smiles reminiscing

"Ooh parties!" I giggle

"Don't even think about it!" He gasps

"You went to parties at 15!! College parties!" I laugh

"Doesn't matter. I was special" He shrugs

"But how were you top of the class? Was everyone else just dumb?" I ask

"Y/n I am a genius. People aren't just smart like me" He chuckles

"Cool. Is Harley doing a college program thing?" I ask

"Not sure.. But I could get him into one in a second" dad says confidently

"He's that smart?" I ask

"He may not be suit making smart like you, but the kid is a genius." he says happily

"Cool. I can't wait to meet him" I smile

"It's getting dark, come on we can star gaze off the balcony" Dad motions for me to follow him back inside

Steve is still in the shower when we come back in. So dad and I grab a big blanket and lay it down on the balcony. We lay down and watch as the stars start to shine all over the sky.

"Stars are so interesting" Dad says staring at the night sky

"Yeah they are." I smile seeing one twinkle brightly

"When I die-

"Don't say that dad" I interrupt him

"It's just a thought! When I die I want my ashes or whatever put in space." Dad says

"In space? That sounds like something you would do" I smile

"Then when you look at the stars you can say, that's my dad making those stars shine up there" He sighs happily
